Php 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
I have been looking at past episodes of the TV program, "Surviver." People compete through various games of strength and prowess to win a million dollars. They will break promises and lie and do everything contrary to what God would have us to be like in order to win the money. It is the devil's game of ruthless cunning to win the prize of a million dollars. Kindness is looked upon as weakness. Learning to endure hardships is a positive thing from the game and making friends is a worthy endeaver but like so many seeking to be rich, they damage their soul in the process.
The verse above is for those walking with the Lord and these are true riches from our God. Jesus has all the good virtues listed above and these are to help us be like him. Seek the true riches and avoid the tricks of the devil to draw you away.
